About The Position

The Boeing Company's Defense, Space & Security (BDS) Mobility, Surveillance & Bombers (MS&B) Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) Group is seeking an Electromagnetic Effects Design and Analysis Engineer. This role will support BDS commercial-derivative aircraft programs, such as the U.S. E-7A and the KC-46A tanker, in Tukwila, WA. The engineer will be responsible for developing and validating E3 requirements and architectures to integrate complex components and subsystems into higher-level platforms. Key responsibilities include defining and conducting tests to validate designs against requirements and providing Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)/Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) expertise throughout design, modification, supplier engagement, and manufacturing processes. The E3 environments covered include EMI, Lightning, High Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF), Precipitation Static (P-static), and Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP). The team is hiring for various experience levels, including Experienced, Career, and Expert.

Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (with a focus in Electrical, Mechanical or Aeronautical), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement.
1+ years of experience with Electromagnetic concepts (such as RF isolation, shielding, grounding, and filtering).
Able and willing to travel up to 25% of the time domestically.

Nice To Haves

Career (Level 3): 3 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
Expert (Level 4): 5 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
ABET-accredited Bachelor’s in electrical engineering or an advanced degree (M.S./Ph.D.) in electrical engineering preferred.
Active U.S. Security Clearance preferred.
Prior experience in defense or aerospace industries.
Experience with MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464, and/or DO-160 EMI/EMC standards.
Prior experience with Aerospace E3.
Experience with EMI qualification testing (LRUs and system-level).

Foundation in RF systems and/or computational E3 analysis tools.

Responsibilities

Perform trade studies, modeling, simulation, and other analyses to predict component, interconnect, and system performance and to optimize designs for E3 performance.
Work to achieve EMC of electronics, wiring, and structure (with minimal direction at higher levels).
Interface with manufacturing and suppliers on complex E3 design aspects to assure system-level compatibility; identify and report achievements and issues to program management and customers.
Review supplier test plans and test reports for technical correctness; identify deficiencies and coordinate corrective actions.
Support project management by contributing to the development of work statements, budgets, schedules, and design/review inputs.
Collaborate with other engineering disciplines and suppliers to assess changes to equipment, determine impacts on electromagnetic characteristics, and recommend mitigations.
Develop and implement test automation for aircraft modifications.
Apply EMI engineering methods to document and resolve complex technical problems.
Apply conversion, correction, and antenna factors to EMI/EMC analyses and tests.
Participate on cross-functional teams and present technical results in internal and external reviews.
Process engineering data into tables, graphs, and deliverables for inclusion in reports.
Support or conduct aircraft-level E3 testing.
